Safety Warnings The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this device. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and the intended use of the metering instrument. Landis+Gyr Inc assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
Warning: Any work on, or near, energized meters, meter sockets, or other metering equipment can present a danger of electrical shock. All work on this product should be performed only by qualified electricians and metering specialists in accordance with local utility safety practices, utility requirements and procedures outlined in Chapter 14 of The Handbook for Electricity Metering (9th edition). The information contained within this manual is intended to be an aid to qualified metering personnel. It is not intended to replace the extensive training necessary to handle metering equipment in a safe manner.
Use care when servicing with the power on.
Be aware that dangerous voltages exist at several points within the meter when this product is installed on a meter base.
Disconnect power before meter disassembly, soldering, or replacing components.
The S4 meter is connected directly to line potential. Due to the possibility of the potential lines being reversed, points accessible with the cover off may be at line voltage.
LINE POTENTIAL IS PRESENT ON THE INCOMING CONNECTORS ON THE MEASUREMENT BOARD INCLUDING THE BATTERY CONNECTOR.
The connectors have full length insulators crimped onto each connector and are shielded by the housing, but pulling the connector loose will expose the open end and line potential. The option board is connected directly to the main board and may also be at a high potential. A Mylar shield prevents touching the option board. Removing the Mylar shield exposes line voltage. The above warning label is affixed to the meter frame and identifies hazards in the meter.
Any option or I/O cables connecting to the meter from the mounting device must use sufficient insulation for the service voltage employed. As a general rule insulation should be designed for a 480 volt ACrms service voltage since service voltage is not always known at the time of meter manufacture. Warning All applicable electrical codes and standards must be followed. Failure to use sufficient insulation on option or I/O cables connecting to the meter through the mounting device could cause serious personal injury, property damage, and/or death.

1. Introduction to the S4 and the S4e
1.1 The S4 and the S4e
The S4 and S4e solid-state meters provide a single solution for nearly all metering applications. The S4 combines the time-proven technology of Landis+Gyr‘s previous solid-state meters with enhancements, including wide-dynamic voltage ranging, forms consolidation, GyrBox site diagnostics, and ServiceScan automatic meter service type recognition. Key S4e enhancements over the S4 are:
Flash memory – field programmable firmware
Protects customer investment - allows fixes, upgrades and feature enhancements
ANSI tables or DGCOM firmware available
AMR module friendly – largest space for integrated solutions
Transformer Loss Compensation (ANSI only)
On board 128K load profile option
Differences between the ANSI and DGCOM protocols are explicitly stated in this manual. S4 is used throughout this manual to refer to both the S4 and S4e meter unless otherwise stated.
Figure 1.1 S4 Meter
The S4 provides more than just reliability and accurate billing data. The S4 is designed to be a building block for a complete metering system. See section 1.7 for communication options and section 1.5 for upgradeability. Combining the S4 with the ProView32 software package yields a complete system for real-time voltage, current, and load data monitoring; user-defined event alerts; graphical load analysis capability; and vector diagrams.
2
1.2 The S4 Meter Family
All S4 meters include wide-dynamic voltage application capability, forms reduction, ServiceScan automatic service recognition, and GyrBox installation diagnostics and monitoring. (Note: GyrBox is not available in the AXL meter line.) Each register type is available with either the DGCOM firmware or with the ANSI protocol, with the exception of the AXL, which does not have full communication abilities unless it is upgraded to an AXS4. The following chart details the various register types available for the S4 and S4e meters:
AXLS4: Active Energy (kWh) only, Factory Pre-Programmed.
Upgradeable to AXS4
AXS4: Adds Active Demand. TOU Capabilities with battery installation. Load Profile Capable. Software Programmable.
Upgradeable to RXS4
RXS4: Adds Reactive Energy and Demand with Selectable Reactive Metrics.
Downgradeable to AXS4
1.3 ServiceScan Automatic Meter Service Type Recognition
Wide-dynamic voltage ranging and form consolidation techniques allow each S4 to be used in a wide variety of metering installations. There is no need, however, to identify the service in advance. You can simply install the S4, and it will automatically detect the service type and voltage, displaying the information on the LCD and properly configuring the GyrBox for a complete diagnostic check of the installation. An S4 can be re-installed at an installation of a different wiring type, same base type required, without the need for re-programming. For use in a non-ANSI standard service, a user defined service type can be downloaded to the S4, (see section 3.2.3).
1.4 GyrBox Installation Diagnostics
The S4 GyrBox continually performs a complete diagnostic analysis on the metering installation equipment, the service wiring, and the load characteristics. See section 5.2 for instructions on activating GyrBox mode. The S4 continually monitors the service and load for equipment failures, improper installation wiring, poor load conditions, power quality conditions, tampering. GyrBox monitors the installation for phase polarity, inactive phases, phase angle displacement, phase imbalance, and energy flow polarity while reporting in real-time the phase angles, phase voltages, phase currents, and diagnostic error counters.
1.5 Software and Software Upgrades
The S4 meter offers flexible upgrade and downgrade options to support today‘s rapidly changing utility environment. ProPak is Landis+Gyr‘s upgrade utility and has the ability to upgrade AXL and AX meters to reactive, upgrade load profile and upgrade the flash firmware (only in S4e). Upgrades require a connection to the meter and a hardlock key (USB or Parallel Port models available). The meter programming utilities are 1132Com for reading and programming and 1132Prog for developing programs. Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000 or Windows XP is needed for 1132Com/1132Prog. For DOS-based PC‘s Landis+Gyr offers, on request, DG1100 which offers a similar look and feel to 1132Com/1132Prog and has limited upgrade features similar to ProPak. Note: DG1100 is no longer supported and newer meter and updates may not work properly using DG1100.

1.6 Inputs / Outputs
An optional input/output board provides up to four, form C, solid-state relays and up to two external inputs for recording pulses from a remote source. See section 8 for more information. The board can be easily added in the field without the need for special tools or soldering.

Figure 1.6 Option Board
1.7 Communications
The modular S4 meter package is designed to allow for the maximum flexibility to add functionality in the future, leaving space for communications boards as well as advanced function processing boards and input/output relay boards. Communications boards, such as the internal telephone modem, RS485 or RS232 boards can be supplied with the meter from the factory or easily added to a meter in the field. In addition several AMR third party vendors offer various automated meter reading options.
1.8 Advanced Feature Sets
1.8.1 Expanded Load Profile of 32K or 128K Bytes
Using the AXRS4 or RXRS4, a utility has the capability of recording up to 15 channels of load profile information with 32K (normally used for 1 channel recording) or 128K bytes of memory for conducting power quality load surveys. The load profile capability in conjunction with Landis+Gyr Data Analysis Software (DG1150) provides utilities and their customers with a graphic representation of load conditions for continuous monitoring of the power system. See section 7.10 for a full discussion on load profile capabilities.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Overview of Electronic Hardware
3.1.1 LCD Display
A full listing of the Register Displays is found in Appendix B. The arrow indicates direction of positive energy flow.
Figure 3.1.1 LCD Display
The potential indicators on the LCD (Va, Vb, Vc) appear only if the service is polyphase and only then if potential is applied to the respective phase. The annunciators, kVARh, Vrms, kW, etc. are programmed for display using 1132Prog/1132Com. They can be enabled or disabled; this feature does not affect the other indicators/identifiers on the LCD. The nominal service voltage indicators (120, 240, 277, 480) will signal which service voltage is being applied to the meter. Review of the power quadrant indicator tells us the quadrant in which power is presently applied by flashing that particular quadrant. The delta/wye will light according to the service type of the meter. The digital power indicator scrolls across the bottom of the display (left to right) to indicate positive or (right to left) to indicate negative energy flow.

3.1.3 Switches
There are three visible switches on the S4: one for Demand Reset, one for scrolling the display and one for Test Mode. Only the Demand Reset switch is accessible through the cover. To activate the Test Mode switch and manually scroll, the cover must be removed.
Figure 3.1.3 S4 Switches
Reed Switch
A reed switch, which is activated by placing a magnet at the twelve o‘clock position (on top of the meter), can be used for entering the alternate display sequence, with a swipe, and activating the GyrBox diagnostic displays, by holding the magnet at this position.
3.1.4 Optical Port/ Calibration LED
An optical port is provided for programming and recording meter data. The port is an ANSI Type II. The optical port and calibration output share the same LED. Whenever the meter is not communicating, the LED will pulse at a rate proportional to the watthours flowing through the meter. Other programmed metrics can be tested by entering test mode, manually scrolling to the appropriate metric calibration pulse display (causing the LED to pulse proportional to that metric), and checking calibration while in test mode. The Calibration LED stops after 24 hours. In an S4 it restarts after a power fail and when entering test mode, in an S4e it restarts when any switch is activated.

3.1.5 Programmable Outputs/Inputs
Up to four programmable outputs and two programmable inputs are available, see section 8.
3.2 Initial Power-Up and Operation
Unless specified by the customer, AX and RX meters are shipped unprogrammed. AXL meters, however, are kWh meters and are always shipped programmed. When powered up, the display on an unprogrammed device will show Error Code 000010, indicating an unprogrammed state. To clear this condition, the device needs to be programmed using 1132Com (Landis+Gyr‘s Reader/Programmer Software package) through an optical serial communications cable or equivalent communication device. An unprogrammed S4 will accumulate billing data, including kWh and kW in 15-minute blocks but cannot be read using 1132Com. An S4 is always a demand meter in an unprogrammed state.
3.2.1 Unprogrammed Displays
Upon powering up, an unprogrammed register goes through a catch-up period, auto-scrolls through a power-up display sequence, then stops on the error code(s). The unprogrammed displays are as follows:
ID Display Mode
All Characters Segment Check – All LCD Characters Lit Normal
AXD, AX, RXR, Etc. Firmware Revision of Microprocessor Normal
DSP Firmware Revision of Digital Signal Processor Normal
TOT Total kWh Normal
MAX Maximum kW Normal
BAT Time on Battery Normal

Table 3.2.1 Unprogrammed Displays
3.2.2 Programming Equipment
The S4 registers are programmable using 1132Prog/1132Com for Windows based devices. Third party hand-held readers also have the ability to communicate to the S4. The S4 offers a user-friendly environment for programming the registers. Consult the 1132Prog/1132Com help files for detailed instructions on programming the meter.
11
3.2.3 Manual Loading of Service Type
In installations that are not ANSI standard, such as using a polyphase meter in a single phase application, ServiceScan allows the user to define the voltages and voltage angles to create a new service type. The following values can be programmed:
Voltage (rms) values: 0v, 60v, 104v, 120v, 208v, 240v, 277v, 416v, 480v
Phase angle values (in degrees): 0, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 270, 300
3.3 Accessing the Display Modes
Up to 64 individual displays may be selected in any order and can be used more than once. An ANSI firmware version meter counts one display programmed for Normal, Alternate and Test Mode as three different displays while the DGCOM meter counts this display as one. There are four display sequences: Normal, Alternate, Test and GyrBox Diagnostics.
Normal Display Sequence
The Normal Display Sequence is present on the LCD under normal operating conditions if no special action is taken.
Alternate Display Sequence
An alternate display sequence may be created for the LCD using 1132Prog/1132Com software. To activate the alternate display,
1) Place a magnet over the meter in the 12 o‘ clock position for 1 second to activate the reed switch. See section 3.1.3 for a description of the reed switch.
OR
2) Hold the scroll button for between 3 and 6 seconds.
The word ―Alt‖ will appear on the display before the alternate display sequence starts. Alternate displays will only be shown in the Alternate Display Sequence.
To exit
The meter will automatically exit back to the normal display sequence after one pass through the alternate displays.
GyrBox Display Sequence
The GyrBox is a sequence of displays designed to facilitate troubleshooting problems in the meter installation. All normal meter functioning continues while in the GyrBox display sequence. The GyrBox sequence is pre-defined, but GyrBox displays may also be programmed to appear in the other display sequences, i.e., normal, alternate and test mode.
There are three methods for obtaining the GyrBox display sequence:
Reed Switch
1) Activate reed switch for three seconds, the display will go blank briefly, which indicates the beginning of the GyrBox sequence.
12
2) The meter will then show the first GyrBox display.
3) Press the scroll button to stop auto-scrolling.
To exit
1) Remove the magnet to return to the normal sequence.
Scroll/Test Buttons
1) Press the scroll button for at least 6 seconds to get into fast scroll mode, then flip up the test switch while continuing to hold the scroll switch. The display will go blank briefly.
2) Release scroll button after entering the GyrBox display sequence.
Note: The use of the test mode switch in this sequence does not cause the meter to enter test mode.
To exit
1) Flip down the test mode button.
1132Prog/1132Com through the Communication Port
You can view the GyrBox displays using 1132Com by selecting the View Data operation in the read menu. You can select this operation using the following procedure:
1) In 1132Com highlight a meter file in the meter file window on the lefthand side. Selecting ―New Meter‖ will automatically establish a connection to a meter.
2) Select View Data under the read menu. 3) View each screen of data. Use the tabs at the top to move through the
different portions of the meters program and registers, GyrBox Diagnostics and Instantaneous Data are the two GyrBox related tabs.
To exit
1) In 1132Com exiting is performed by selecting the ‗X‘ in the upper right corner of the program or selecting Exit in the File menu.
Test Mode Sequence
Flipping the Test Mode switch enters the Test Mode. ―TEST‖ will appear on the LCD. While in test mode, the displays must be manually scrolled using the scroll switch.
3.4 Scroll Modes
3.4.1 Auto-scroll Mode
The display continually cycles through the programmed Normal Display Sequence, referred to as auto-scrolling. The LCD displays each quantity for a selectable time of 1 to 16 seconds. The auto-scroll mode operates by default and is only affected by a manual activation of another display mode, by activating a switch or by the occurrence of an error that is programmed to stop the auto-scroll sequence. Auto-scrolling is not active in test mode.
13
3.4.2 Manual Scroll Mode
While the S4 register is auto-scrolling, if the scroll switch is momentarily depressed, the display jumps to the first item in the sequence and auto-scrolling will be suspended. Each subsequent press of the scroll button causes the display to show the next item in the sequence. The display resumes auto-scrolling when the switch has not been activated for one minute. Manual scrolling operates in this manner for both the normal, alternate, and GyrBox sequences. The test mode sequence never auto-scrolls.
Note: In Time of Use meters‘ manually scrolling for the first time causes a battery test on TOU meters. If the battery voltage is low, an error code, see section 9.1, is indicated on the meter.
3.4.3 Scrolling in the Alternate Display Sequence
If the scroll switch is held down for more than 3 seconds, the Alternate Display Sequence is initiated, starting with the ALT display then continuing with the first alternate display item. If the scroll switch is held down for more than 6 seconds the fast scroll feature in the Alternate Display Sequence is initiated. The Alternate Mode may also be initiated by waving a magnet over the top of the meter. Once the end of the Alternate Display Sequence is reached (unless it is fast scrolling), the S4 register reverts back to the Normal Display Sequence.
3.4.4 Scrolling in the GyrBox Mode
Once in the GyrBox sequence (entered via the reed switch or the button combination), the GyrBox displays auto-scroll. Pushing the scroll switch for the first time stops the auto-scrolling and the S4 will be in the manual scroll mode starting with the first GyrBox display. Unlike the alternate display sequence, which just makes one pass before returning to the normal sequence, the GyrBox sequence wraps around to its first display and continues scrolling until GyrBox mode is exited. Either de-activating the reed switch or placing the test mode switch in the off position exits GyrBox, depending on the method of activation.
14
4. Test Mode Test Mode feature allows meter testing without affecting billing data, data collected is for test mode purposes only. Test mode is entered through the optic port or by activating the test mode switch on the face of the device. The register may be read while in test mode, but may not be programmed.
4.1 Test Mode Display
Pressing the display scroll switch causes the next item to be displayed. Each test mode display value is updated continuously.
4.2 Actions upon Entering Test Mode
Upon entering test mode, the current demand interval is terminated and all billing data is stored. As a result, this demand interval will be shorter than normal. The end-of-interval (EOI) output and display indicator both activate as if a normal EOI has occurred. If the present demand is greater than the previous maximum demand, maximum demand will be updated.
4.3 Action upon Exiting Test Mode
Upon exiting test mode all billing data is restored and a new demand interval is started. The EOI output switch and display indicator activates, indicating the end of test mode and the start of a new demand interval and subinterval.
4.4 Test Mode Demand Functions
1132Prog/1132Com allows programming of separate demand interval length and Kh for test mode purposes. This allows for quicker verification of demand by using a shorter interval. Using a large Kh value allows display of kWh on the LCD with small accumulation. A demand reset performed in test mode starts a new test mode interval and zeroes accumulated demand, maximum demand, and the number of register pulses recorded.
4.5 Operation of Outputs during Test Mode
While the meter is in test mode, the optional outputs work as they would in normal mode, with the following exceptions:
EOI activates upon entering and upon exiting test mode and with every EOI.
Demand Threshold Alert (DTA), Voltage Threshold Alert (VTA) and Power Factor Threshold Alert (PFTA) are cleared upon exiting test mode.
Load Control will not work in test mode.
4.6 Miscellaneous Functions During Test Mode
Power on demand delay (PODT) is not in effect during test mode, although timing continues. For example, if PODT is 10 minutes and the meter is put into test mode for 4 minutes immediately on power up, the meter will start accumulating demand 6 minutes after exiting Test Mode.
15
4.7 Test Mode Time-out
After a prescribed length of time, the test mode is automatically ended and the meter returns to normal mode. 1132Prog allows the user to program the test mode time-out value from 1 to 255 minutes (a value of 0 disables the time-out function) into the meter. Once test mode is entered, the test mode counter begins timing. If the meter is left in test mode longer than the time-out value, test mode will end. If any switch closure or optical communication occurs while in test mode, the time-out counter will restart counting at zero.
Note: If a meter leaves test mode due to inactivity time-out and the mechanical switch stays activated for longer than 4 minutes, the stuck switch error, if programmed, will be displayed. This error will be cleared after the switch is deactivated.
16
5. GyrBox Operation
5.1 Overview of GyrBox
GyrBox diagnostics are designed to quickly conduct a meter and installation system electrical check. The S4 GyrBox continually performs a complete diagnostic analysis on the metering installation equipment, the service wiring, and the load characteristics. This allows the S4 to continually monitor the service and load for equipment failures, improper installation wiring, poor load conditions, power quality conditions, and tampering. The GyrBox monitors the installation for phase polarity, inactive phases, phase angle displacement, phase imbalance, and energy flow polarity.
The voltage and current per phase information that the meter automatically calculates and displays will indicate if the meter is installed and operating properly. Continuous voltage and current measurements are rms values and are updated every 5 seconds.
Each time a diagnostic error is detected, a Remote Communications Alert will be executed. If the optional modem is installed, then it will call in the error if it is programmed to do so.
5.1.1 ServiceScan: Service Recognition and Verification
ServiceScan automatically detects the service type and voltage, displaying the information on the LCD and properly configuring the GyrBox for a complete diagnostic check of the installation. This feature checks if the service matches the meter form type, i.e., a 8/9S meter form will not function as a 6S meter form. In cases where all three potentials are not initially present when the meter first powers up (e.g. installing a meter in a 480V site), ServiceScan will not be able to identify the service at first and will then rescan the voltage and phase information every minute until correctly identifying the service type. Therefore, an S4 can be re-installed as a different type without needing to be re-programmed.
For all S4 meters, ServiceScan is performed at power up. Starting with firmware version 3.07, ServiceScan is performed not only at power up but also in one minute intervals following power up until the device recognizes a valid service.
Refer to Appendix C entitled ―Service Types‖ for a table listing various devices and their compatible service types.
5.1.2 Service Scan Displays
A 120V four wire wye service will illuminate the ―Y‖ annunciator, the ―120‖ nominal service voltage, and the three potential indicators (―Va, Vb and Vc‖).
A 240V four wire delta service will illuminate the ― ―, the ―240‖ nominal service voltage (even
though the phases individually measured line to neutral would be 120, 120 and 208), and the three potential indicators.
For single phase loads on test boards, only the nominal voltage will be illuminated. Meters with firmware versions prior to 3.10 do not distinguish between 240V and 277V. In both cases the 277V annunciator will be illuminated.
17
5.1.3 Programmable Service Types
The GyrBox accommodates these service types: network, 3 wire delta, 4 wire wye, and 4 wire delta. Non-standard service types can be programmed using 1132Com.
5.1.4 GyrBox Activation
GyrBox may be activated while the register is operating in either the normal or alternate mode of operation. Normal energy measurement continues while GyrBox is activated.
5.2 Methods for entering GyrBox
There are two ways of entering GyrBox:
Reed Switch (see section 3.1.3)
1) Place a magnet on top of the meter in the 12 o‘clock position.
2) After three seconds, the display will go blank briefly.
3) The meter will then show the first GyrBox diagnostic.
4) Press the scroll button to stop auto-scrolling.
To exit
1) Remove the magnet to return to the normal sequence.
Scroll/Test Buttons
1) Press the scroll button for at least 6 seconds to get into fast scroll mode.
2) Flip up the test mode lever to put the S4 into the GyrBox after the brief blanking of the LCD. The test mode button used in this fashion will not light up the TEST MODE indicator since meter operation is not affected by the GyrBox display sequence.
3) After entering the GyrBox sequence, release the scroll button.
To exit
1) Flip down the test mode button.
18
5.2.1 Digital Power Indicator (DPI) during GyrBox Activation
The DPI shows the direction of energy flow during each phase check. It runs at a constant rate in the direction of the energy flow.
5.2.2 Display Format and Reference
The phase information is displayed with no leading zeros and one fixed decimal point. The diagnostic counters are displayed with no leading zeroes, similar to the following example:
Figure 5.2.2 Sample GyrBox Display on LCD
The meter sets the ―A‖ phase voltage phasor to 0.0° and calculates all other voltage and
current phasors with relation to phase ―A‖ voltage. Thus, phase ―A‖ voltage angle will always be displayed as 0.0. The displayed value is based upon a long-term average. The current angle calculations also use Phase A as a reference, and are based upon the following relationship:
tan 1 Var
Watt
Quadrant of the angle is based upon the polarity of watt and Var.

Note: Phases that are unused will still show up in the GyrBox display list.
20
5.2.4 Diagnostic Counters
The GyrBox diagnostic counters record the number of times (0 to 65535) that a diagnostic error was detected since the last counter reset. Any diagnostic conditions still existing when the counters are cleared will count to 1 within 15 seconds. You can clear the diagnostic counters by performing a cold start, either manually or optically, or a demand reset.
5.2.5 Diagnostic Check Display Options
The following section lists the possible display formats for diagnostic errors. Each diagnostic error can be programmed for display in one of these formats.
Note: The meter must pass two consecutive checks before the diagnostic error will be cleared from the LCD.
Lock: The selected error remains on the LCD display. The diagnostic display causes auto-scrolling to stop at the Error Code 1 display. Diagnostic check code displays appear at the end of the normal/alternate scroll sequence just before Error Code 2 and Error Code 1 (See Section 9 for a discussion of Error Codes).
Scroll: The diagnostic error does not cause auto-scrolling to stop. The error code byte is inserted at the end of the display sequence.
No Display: The diagnostic error is not displayed on the LCD. The diagnostic counter is still increased by one.
Disable: The diagnostic error will not be displayed on the LCD and the diagnostic counter will not be increased.
5.3 Diagnostic Checks
The following sections describe each of the diagnostics that GyrBox performs. When a diagnostic check is triggered it will appear on the normal display sequence if it has been programmed to lock or scroll. After seeing the particular diagnostic error in the LCD display, compare the Phase A, B and C readings to the expected values found in section 5.4. Note which values are inconsistent and use that information to help track down the source of the error.
5.3.1 D1 (Polarity and Cross-phase)
The D1 diagnostic checks for proper phase relationships of voltage, incorrect polarity of voltage, internal meter measurement malfunction, and faulty site wiring. The envelope of the voltage phasors is fixed at ± 10 . If the voltage phasor values measure more than ± 10 from their
nominal position, an error will be detected. This check is not performed when phase A voltage is missing.

5.3.2 D2 (Phase Voltage Deviation Check)
The Phase Voltage Deviation Check verifies loss of phase voltage, incorrect phase voltage, shorted voltage transformer windings, or incorrect voltage transformer ratio by detecting differences between phase voltage magnitudes. This check uses the nominal voltage per phase as a reference. The tolerance range of the voltage deviation (%) is programmable using 1132Prog/1132Com software.
5.3.3 D3 (Inactive Phase Current Check)
The Inactive Phase Current Check verifies that the service is maintaining an acceptable current level and is expected to detect current diversion and an open or shorted CT circuit. The low current value is programmed into the register using 1132Prog/1132Com software and will have a limit starting at the creep level of the meter and up to 200A in increments of 1mA. Each phase can have a separate threshold. The error flag will trip if one or more currents fall below its threshold and at least one current remains above this value for more than 15 seconds. The error flag will not trip if all phase currents fall below their thresholds.
5.3.4 D4 (Phase Angle Displacement Check)
The Phase Angle Displacement Check diagnostic verifies that the elements are sensing and receiving the correct current for each phase of the service and indicates poor load power factor system conditions and reversed CT‘s. The phase displacement angle ( ) is programmable
through the 1132Prog/1132Com software package. Angles for leading and lagging loads are separately programmable. The current phasors must be within this programmable phase with respect to their voltage phasor to pass this diagnostic check. This is calculated with respect to its respective voltage phasor, not necessarily phase A‘s voltage phasor. The check is not performed if Diagnostic #3 did not pass or if phase A voltage is missing.
5.3.5 D5 (Future)
This diagnostic is reserved for future use.
5.3.6 D6 (Current Magnitude Imbalance Check)
This diagnostic compares the current of each phase with the other phases in the installation. If the ratio between any phase current and the average of all phase currents exceeds the user programmable percentage, then this diagnostic flag is tripped. The check is not performed if Diagnostic #3 did not pass, if the average current is below 0.5% of class, or if phase A voltage is missing.
5.3.7 D7 (Energy Polarity Check)
The D7 diagnostic checks for reverse energy flow of one or more phases. If the energy polarity (watts) for any phase is negative, this flag will be tripped. This check is not performed if phase A voltage is missing.

5.5 Common sources for diagnostic alerts
The following section outlines the most common causes for the diagnostic alerts. All of the examples are based on a 120 Volt, 4 wire wye, 9S/8S application. The following examples are sorted by the diagnostics that are triggered for each possible problem. Each example lists the cause of the problem and the voltage, voltage angle, current angle, and current values shown for each phase as a result of this problem. The values that change for each phase as a result of a problem are listed in bold in each table. Fields marked float designate that the value isn‘t constant.

6. Demand Metering The RXS4 meter can calculate active (kWh) energy or reactive (VARtd, VAtd, VArms) energy and demand in block, rolling block, or thermal emulation. Demand interval length and the number of subintervals are established through programming. The possible arrangements of subintervals per interval for ―rolling demand‖ are shown in Table 6.0. Rolling demand is sometimes referred to as ―sliding demand‖. A new demand interval timing sequence begins when power is applied/restored, upon programming when the demand interval is changed, and when entering or exiting test mode. The number of minutes remaining in the current subinterval is available for display.

Table 6.0 Demand Subintervals/Intervals
6.1 DEMAND TYPES
Demand can be displayed in three different ways:
Maximum (Indicating) demand: The maximum since the last demand reset.
Cumulative demand: The sum of the maximum demands from all demand resets.
Continuous cumulative demand: The sum of indicating and cumulative demands.
Note: The user must choose either cumulative or continuous cumulative demand displays.
6.1.1 Thermal Demand
Thermal Demand is the logarithmic average of power used, which means that least recent load is weighed more heavily than most recent load. Thermal Demand is an alternate method to block and rolling block demand in Demand Only meters. Because Thermal Demand is the logarithmic average, Thermal Demand is not reset to 0 on a rate change or a Demand Reset. Thermal Demand is unaffected by a rate change. On a Demand Reset, Present Demand becomes the new Maximum Demand.
See the Handbook for Electricity Metering for a more complete discussion of Thermal Demand metering.
34
6.1.2 Five Highest Demands
The highest five demands during a billing period are recorded with the time and date of occurrence. Windowed Demand, or Demand Peak Window, provides another way to record the five highest demands. With windowed demand, a minimum time window separates the highest peaks in time. This window of time can be selected in length to be zero, 1 hour or 4 hours. If zero is selected, the five highest demands are separated by the programmed demand interval length.
6.2 Demand (Billing Period) Reset
Block: The following actions occur upon Demand Reset:
1) For each of the rates the following is done to the present season values:
a) Max kW is added to the Cumulative kW value and Max kM (kM is the metric selected: VARtd, VAtd, or VArms) is added to the Cumulative kM value.
b) Max kW is reset to zero. Max kM is reset to Zero.
2) The five highest kW and kM values and coincident values are reset to zero (TOU Only).
3) For block demand, all demand data for all previous intervals is zeroed, and all demand data in the present interval (including before the Demand Reset) is retained.
4) Date of last reset is updated (TOU Only) (see exception under No. 5).
5) If it is an automatic Demand Reset as a result of season change, then all present season values are written to last season registers before any data is zeroed. Date of last reset is not updated.
6) If a season change results from this Demand Reset, then all present season values are written to last season registers before any data is zeroed.
Rolling, Demand Reset Type I
Same as Block Demand Reset except demand data from current subinterval is not cleared. As a result the Present kW register is not affected.
Rolling, Demand Reset Type II
Same as Block Demand Reset except all demand data from all previous subintervals is zeroed, and all demand data in the present subinterval (including before the Demand Reset) is retained.
Thermal
For each of the rates the following is done to the present season values:
1) Max kW is added to the Cumulative kW value and Max kM is added to the Cumulative kM value.
2) Max kW is reset to present demand. Max kM is reset to present kM.
All present demand data is retained.
If a season change results from this Demand Reset, then all present season values are written to last season registers before any data is zeroed.
35
6.2.1 Automatic Demand Reset upon Season Change
A demand reset may be programmed to occur automatically at each season change. In order to not lose the demand data, all present season demand values are copied into last season demand registers, before clearing the present season values to zero. The last season values can be displayed and can be read by any compatible reader.
6.2.2 Season Change upon Demand Reset
Season Changes may be programmed to occur upon the first demand reset that occurs after the programmed season change date. This feature cannot be programmed simultaneously with "Automatic Demand Reset upon Season Change."
6.2.3 Demand Reset Methods
Manual Method
A Demand Reset can be initiated manually via the reset mechanism installed in the front of the meter cover. Upon initiating a Demand Reset, all LCD display segments are briefly displayed. No further Demand Resets are allowed to occur until the completion of one normal display sequence. After a Demand Reset, the display sequence will begin at the first programmed display of the normal display sequence.
Software Method
A Demand Reset may also be accomplished optically or remotely (via modem, RS232, or RS485) using Landis+Gyr‘s 1132Prog/1132Com software package on a PC or other compatible device. The meter is also capable of automatically doing a demand reset daily, monthly or on season change.
6.2.4 Power on demand delay timing
Power on demand delay timing (PODT) allows for demand measurement to be delayed when power is restored after a power outage. The length of time for which demand is delayed after power resumes is programmable. The demand measurement may be delayed for times of 0 to 255 minutes. A time of zero minutes would cause no delay to occur. The value of PODT left is available for display. Additionally, in a TOU meter a PODT Trigger can be set to designate how long an outage has to be for the meter to utilize the PODT. This value can be programmed from 0 to 255 in minutes and from 0 to 59 in seconds.
36
7. TOU Metering This section of the instruction manual covers the Time of Use function and operation of the AXS4 and RXS4 meters equipped with TOU and recorder capabilities on load profile meters.
7.1 Main Clock
The S4 register maintains its clock by counting the line cycles. The clock maintains accurate time-keeping from the line while power is present. On battery carry over, the S4 register maintains its clock using a 32kHz crystal with an accuracy of ±0.02% per month. Optionally, the S4 may be programmed to always maintain its clock from the 32kHz crystal.
7.2 Time Display Format
The register clock displays time in a 24-hour format of XX hour and XX minutes or with XX seconds. Midnight is considered to be the beginning of a day and is displayed as 00:00 or 00:00.00 with seconds.
7.3 Date Display Format
The S4 can be programmed to display the date in month/day/year, day/month/year, year/day/month or year/month/day (Canada) format. When the year reaches 99, it will roll over to 00 on the following year. The time and date are always stored in the same manner. The format only affects the display of the data.
7.4 Date and Time Setting
Changing the software clock is achievable through any compatible programmer such as a handheld device or a PC with the proper software and hardware without prior knowledge of the program in the meter. Changing the time in the meter will not result in a loss of register data.
7.5 Daylight Savings Time
Daylight savings time shifts either follow U.S./Canada dates or user programmed dates. On a spring time shift the time moves from 2 to 3 AM and from 2 to 1 AM on a fall time shift. In the following table Rate A is programmed from 12 to 1:30 AM and Rate B is programmed from 1:30 AM to end of day.
Event Action
Time reaches midnight Rate A activated
Time reaches 1:30 AM Rate B activated
Time reaches 2:00 AM Time changed to 1:00 (on Fall DST date), Rate A activated
Time reaches 1:30 AM again Time reaches 2:00 AM again
Rate B activated No action
37
7.6 Time On Carryover
Time on battery carryover is measured to log the cumulative time the battery has been in use. Time on carryover is measured in seconds, has an internal capacity of 136 years, and is displayed on the LCD in minutes. Performing a cold start resets the time on battery carryover. Time on carryover will roll over to 000000 when battery usage extends past 999999 minutes (694 days) on the display. Time on battery is available for display. While minutes are available for display, the internal resolution of Time on carryover is seconds.
7.7 Programmable Dates and Schedules
7.7.1 Programmable Dates
The register has enough memory to provide a 20 year calendar when using 15 holiday or season change dates. Users may define their own fixed date perpetual dates. Perpetual dates also signal season changes or holidays. Examples of perpetual dates are:
Jan. 1 New Year's Day
July 1 Canada Day
July 4 Independence Day
Nov. 11 Veteran's Day
Dec. 25 Christmas Day
Dec. 31 New Year's Eve
7.7.2 Seasonal Rate Changes
TOU schedules for up to four seasons per year are available. Seasonal rate changes occur at the first hour of programmable dates (midnight) or at the next reset, if the season change by reset option is selected. At season change, all energy and demand accumulators are copied into last season storage.
A seasonal rate change can be made to occur before the scheduled date via the communications port. One such change can occur per season. This optical command will cause the register to look ahead in its date table and change the season to the next season that is listed there. No other season changes will be allowed until the scheduled season change date is reached.
7.7.3 TOU Daily Schedules
Two hundred and forty transitions are available to divide between the daily schedules. The switch points are shared among the four TOU rates and the optional TOU Load Control switch.
7.7.4 Day Select for Schedules
Each of the seven days of the week may have one of the TOU schedules assigned to it. Any schedule may be used as an exception to the TOU daily schedule (i.e. a holiday).
38
7.8 Load Control/TOU Switchpoints
A switchpoint is a quarter-hour boundary during the day that defines a TOU rate change and/or a programmable output option change. TOU schedules are made up of switchpoints. Each schedule may have from 1 to 96 switchpoints.
The meter allows for up to five TOU rate periods, Rates A, B, C, D and E. Any rate may last for as short as one switchpoint (changing every quarter-hour) or for as long as an entire day. Switchpoints may also be used to enable or disable programmable outputs. Control of the outputs may occur in conjunction with rate changes or apart from them. Therefore, a switchpoint may either change the TOU rate; change the state of the programmable outputs, or both.
The register will handle up to 240 switchpoints (480 bytes). Considering that the schedule definition requires the same space as a switchpoint, and that a schedule may have from 1 to 96 switchpoints, the 480 byte table could hold from 3 to 120 TOU schedules.
Each switchpoint in a TOU schedule may define a load control action as one of its programmable outputs. This action directs the load control relay to energize or de-energize. Energizing a load control relay should close or open the KY contact (depending upon the normal off state of the relay, either open or close). Load control actions in a TOU schedule will have no effect unless one of the optional general purpose relays is programmed for load control.
7.9 Rate Indicator Outputs
Rate indicator outputs may be accomplished by programming an output relay for TOU Load Control as stated in the above section.
7.10 Load Profile
7.10.1 Load Profile Memory Capacity
The S4 RAM sizes are 32K and 128K for the AXR and RXR. The reader/programmer will be able to initialize load profile memory or disable load profile recording completely. On the S4e meter the Load profile is stored on the main board eliminating the need for a daughter board.
The S4 optional recorder is capable of handling 42 days of 15 minute load profile data on four channels with 32K or 42 days of 15-minute load profile data on 15 channels with 128K bytes of memory. The number of days of capacity is dependent upon the interval length duration and the number of channels used. Table 7.10.3 on the following page shows the relationship between capacity and load profile interval length.
7.10.2 Automatic Upgrade/Downgrade of Load Profile Memory
S4 TOU meters, firmware version 3.05 to 4.41, can be field-upgraded to become either an RXRS4 or an AXRS4, respectively. Upgraded TOU meters may later be downgraded to return to their original states (RX or AX functionality).
Upgrading TOU meters simply requires the installation of the SRAM board into the meter. After powering up the meter following the SRAM board installation, the load profile capability will automatically be enabled. All upgraded meters configure the SRAM board to 128k.
39
To downgrade a meter, first reprogram the meter to disable load profile operation, then remove the SRAM board. Failure to first reprogram the meter will result in the creation of a memory error (Error 000100) indicating that the SRAM board is malfunctioning. This error can be cleared by cold starting the meter.
Meters purchased with load profile memory installed at the factory cannot be field-downgraded to remove load profile functionality. Such meters will always expect the load profile memory to be present. As a result, reprogramming cannot clear the memory error you receive if you attempt to field-downgrade such a meter.
S4e meters, firmware versions 6.XX and 7.XX, can be field upgraded using ProPak. The memory can be upgraded from 0K to 128K and downgraded back to 0K.
7.10.3 Load Profile Interval Length
Load Profile interval lengths include, 1, 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. Each interval consists of two bytes. The highest order two bits in each interval are used for date/time stamping and even parity indication. 14 bits are left for recording pulses allowing up to 16,383 pulses in an interval. Any pulses received beyond this maximum value will be ignored and the interval will remain at 16,383. The input-pulse scaling factor can be used to scale down high input pulse rates to prevent exceeding the load profile interval capacity. Load profile interval length and TOU demand interval length are independent and may be different.

7.10.4 Load Profile Recording Channels
The register records up to 15 channels of load profile data. The number of channels is programmable. The available memory is distributed equally among each channel.
The metric for each load profile channel is selectable by the reader/programmer and may be different from the additional metric used elsewhere in the register for energy and demand calculation. Each channel has a configuration byte defining its selected metric. All calculations are based on the meter‘s true kh. These configuration bytes may be read by the reader/programmer. The metrics available are as follows (all channels must use the same interval timing):
+kWh Ib2h (DGCOM) or Ibh (ANSI)
-kWh Ic2h (DGCOM) or Ich (ANSI)
Lagging VARh (RXR Only) IN2h or INh from neutral current
Leading VARh (RXR Only) External Input 1
Leading Vah (RXR Only External Input 2
VAh rms (RXR Only) Voltage sags per phase
VA2h (DGCOM) or Vah (ANSI) Voltage swells per phase
VB2h (DGCOM) or Vbh (ANSI) Voltage sags any phase
VC2h (DGCOM) or Vch (ANSI) Voltage swells any phase
Ia2h (DGCOM) or Iah (ANSI)
Table 7.10.4 Load Profile Metrics
7.10.5 Load Profile Pulse Values
The pulse count for each interval must be interpreted according to the metric being recorded for that channel. For the energy metrics, e.g. kWh, kVARh, kVAh, each pulse represents one unit of energy equal to the true K factor of the meter (the true Kh/12).
The pulse values for the V2h/Vh and I2h/Ih metrics are internal constants dependent on the service voltage and class of the meter, respectively. Tables 7.10.5.1 and 7.10.5.2 list V2h/Vh and I2h/Ih pulse values, respectively. The ANSI meter stores the metrics as Vh and Ih, while the DGCOM meter stores the metrics as V2h and I2h.
Voltage and current calculations are performed using the following formula:
41
For the voltage sag and swell channels, one pulse is recorded for every 0.3 seconds the voltage is below the load profile sag threshold or above the load profile swell threshold. See table below for pulse multipliers

7.10.6 Load Profile Error Detection
An even parity bit is stored for each load profile interval.
7.10.7 Long Outage Detection
Before a load profile interval has a power outage indicator bit set, the cumulative power outage time during the interval must exceed a programmable length of time. This length of time is programmed in seconds and may range from 1 to 16.
Note: Long outage time for load profile is a different quantity than the long outage time used to trigger demand delay.
A date/time stamp will be added to the load profile memory showing time of power failure and restoration. With these time stamps, the length of power outage may be determined to within 6 seconds. Note: A power fail in load profile is defined as loss of voltage below roughly 85 volts, depending on conditions, for 6 or more line cycles.
7.10.8 Date and Time of Last Load Profile Interval Read
42
The date and time of the last read of Load Profile data will automatically be recorded at the completion of a Load Profile read command. If the reader/programmer needs this date and time, it should be read prior to initiating a Load Profile read command.
7.11 Real Time Billing
Real time billing may be entered via the demand or power factor threshold alerts. Refer to Section 8.2 for real-time communication links.
7.12 Master Reset
A master reset clears all billing data in the register, while leaving the customer program unchanged. The master reset can be performed in two ways: 1) optically using 1132Prog/1132Com software package and 2) manually using the switches located on the display of the register.
Note: Although you cannot cold start an AXL, you can perform a master reset on this device in order to clear billing data.
Performing a master reset optically using 1132Prog/1132Com
Follow the instructions for performing a master reset listed in the help file for 1132Prog/1132Com.
Performing a master reset manually using switches
1) Hold down the reset button on the face of the device.
2) Toggle the test switch up.
3) Release the reset button.
4) Hold down the reset button again.
5) While continuing to hold down the reset button, toggle the test switch down.
7.13 Cold Starts
A cold start will initialize all memory and return the register to an unprogrammed state. The register will accumulate energy and demand data for 15 minute intervals while in this condition. Test mode will not function as normal. You cannot and do not need to cold start an AXL device; however, you can perform a master reset on an AXL in order to clear the billing data as described in Section 7.12 of this manual. If you upgrade an AXL to an AX, you can then cold start it as described below.
Caution: Cold starting a device will result in an irreversible loss of billing data and the meter programmed must be restored.
A cold start may be accomplished in two ways: optically or manually.
7.13.1 Method 1, Optical Cold Start
43
The instructions for performing a cold start can be found in the 1132Com help file.
7.13.2 Method 2, Manual Cold Start
1) Hold the scroll switch for at least 6 seconds to enter fast scroll mode.
2) Release the scroll switch and press and hold the reset switch within 2 seconds. At this point the display will be blank.
3) While still holding reset switch down, within 2 seconds lift and then release the test mode switch.
4) Release the reset switch.
If the steps are not completed correctly and in a timely fashion, ―abort‖ will show on the display. No Cold Start will happen, but a demand reset will occur when the reset switch is pressed.
7.13.3 Register Displays following a Cold Start
After the meter is cold started, the register goes through a catch-up period, auto-scroll through a power-up display sequence and then stops on the error code 000010. The power-up display sequence then is displayed. If you wish to review the power-up display sequence, please consult Section 3.2.1 of this manual entitled ―Power-Up Displays‖.
7.14 ANSI Type II Optical Communications Port
An ANSI Type II optical communications port mounted on the meter cover provides bi-directional communications between the register and an external programmer or reader. To gain access to any optical port functions, the register must first verify a security code. The security code(s) below apply only for the DGCOM meter and can allow three levels of access:
Level 1: Complete access
Level 2: Read and demand reset only
Level 3: Read only
All billing and program information in the register is readable via the optical port. Communications through the optical port is at 9600 baud and is asynchronous. Data transfer is compatible with a PC serial port.
7.15 Security
When the S4 is programmed, a range of security features can be used. The S4 security scheme consists of five levels of access to the meter, involving two communication security codes and a special switch sequence.
44
Once the meter has been programmed, an operator must log in to the meter to establish a security level before any further programming commands or meter operations will be accepted. The security level granted to the operator must be at least as high as the level programmed for the desired operation or the meter rejects the command.
7.15.1 S4 and S4e DGCOM Security Information
The following table shows the requirements for each security level and the operations that can be done at that level. All programming and operational commands (such as Demand Reset) require that the operator log in with a valid L1 or L2 security key. Also, commands protected at L3 security require physical access to the meter in order to perform the L3 override switch sequence. Note that the meter will never accept commands protected at L4 security. A manual cold start is necessary to override L4 security.
Security key required
Switch sequence required
Operations allowed
L0 none none Read commands only
L1 L1 security key none L1 commands
L2 L2 security key none L1 and L2 commands
L3 L2 security key L3 override L1, L2, and L3 commands
L4 N/A N/A Any command
Table 7.15 Security Levels and Corresponding Operations
The L3 override switch sequence consists of either activating the test mode switch or performing the following operation with the Scroll and Reset switches:
1) Press and release the scroll switch.
2) Within 1 second, press and hold the reset switch for approximately 3 seconds.
3) While continuing to hold the reset switch, press and release the scroll switch for a second time.
4) Release the reset switch.
Note: S4 meters with firmware prior to 3.08 support only a subset of the security features. The L1 level is fixed to include the Demand Reset command only, and L4 is not supported. Also, the test mode switch is the only method for performing the L3 override.
7.15.2 S4e ANSI Security Information
These are the five levels of security for S4e meters with the ANSI protocol. Each security code is 20 digits in length and all 20 digits must be used. Each level includes all capabilities of the lower levels:
45
L1 - Allows for the meter to be read only. No programming or procedures may be executed.
L2 - Allows for demand resets to be done.
L3 - Allows for the following additional programming tasks to be performed:
o Set date and time
o Program or modify TOU rates and calendar
o Program or modify the display table
o Program or modify the ANSI specific utility information
o Program or modify the tables associated with modem communication
o Program or modify network ID
o Program or modify output relays
o Program or modify load profile configuration
L4 - Allows for all programming and procedures to be done, with the exception of device configuration.
L5 - Allows everything to be done, including device configuration. This is needed when changing from demand to TOU or back, adding load profile capability or modem capability. It is what is required when altering which ANSI standard tables or Manufacturer tables are enabled in the meter.
7.16 Voltage Quality Information
The S4 continually monitors voltage and provides information for evaluating voltage quality. Through 1132Prog/1132Com, the user can program in voltage sag and swell threshold values (such as 90% and 110%, for example). When the voltage exceeds the sag or swell thresholds, the information is recorded in load profile or communicated via a programmable output.
7.16.1 Sag Information
A threshold value is provided for detecting voltage sags in load profile. If the voltage drops below this threshold, then a sag counter is incremented once per 0.3 seconds. This counter continues to increment until the voltage is no longer less than the sag threshold. At the beginning of each new load profile interval, this counter is zeroed. A load profile channel may be selected to record the value of the sag counter at the end of each load profile interval. Although there is only one sag threshold for load profile, each phase can have its own channel.
7.16.2 Swell Information
A threshold value is provided for detecting voltage swells in load profile. If the voltage exceeds this threshold, then a swell counter is incremented once per 0.3 seconds.. This counter continues to increment until the voltage no longer exceeds the swell threshold. At the
46
beginning of each new load profile interval, this counter is zeroed. A load profile channel may be selected to record the value of the swell counter at the end of each load profile interval. Although there is only one swell threshold for load profile, each phase can have its own channel.
7.16.3 Voltage Sag Alert
A threshold is provided for alerting a voltage sag. The voltage is inspected and an alert set when it drops below the sag alert threshold. This alert is cleared when the voltage is no longer below the sag alert threshold. This threshold is separate from the load profile threshold.
7.16.4 Voltage Swell Alert
A threshold is provided for alerting a voltage swell for output relays. The voltage is inspected and an alert is set when it exceeds the swell alert threshold. This alert is cleared when the voltage is no longer above the swell alert threshold. This threshold is separate from the load profile threshold.
7.16.5 Instantaneous Readings
The following "instantaneous" values are displayable and available through the optical port or the communications link:
Voltage per Phase Current per Phase Neutral Current
kW kVAR* kVArms*
kVAtd* Power Factor* *RX Models Only
These values will be updated at a rate based on the rate of incoming data. The update rate for voltage will be 1 second and for other values the update rate will be no longer than four seconds. On-line updates may vary depending on communications rate and query time.
7.17 Self-Reads
When actuated, the self-read function will save a copy of all energy and demand information, including TOU metrics, and mark the current date and time. Self-read data is available for display on S4 firmware version starting at 4.41. Self-reads are only available in S4 meters with load profile capability and on S4e meters. In addition, a RAM board (catalogue number 69315-1A) is required for self-reads in meters firmware versions below 4.41.
Note: You do not need to have Load Profile functioning for self-reads to work.
7.17.1 Self-Read Data
The following list contains the self-read items that are captured at the time of a self read:
Time Five highest maximum demands
47
Date Current season cumulative demand
Battery carryover time Current season TOU demand data
TOU status Previous season demand data
Previous interval demand Previous season selectable (KM) and 3rd (KM3) metric data (RX)
Previous season TOU data Selectable (KM) and 3rd (KM3) metric data (RX)
Rate bins and total energy Previous season TOU data
Negative energy Five highest maximum demands
7.17.2 Number of Self-Reads
The S4 is capable of storing up to six sets of self-read data. A self-read initiates the transfer of current data into the next available self-read memory block, followed by a demand reset. Only the most recent six self-reads are retained. The oldest self-read is replaced by the most recent when the programmable number has been reached.
7.17.3 Self-Read at Season Change
If a season change and a self-read occur at 00:00:00 of the same day, the self-read actions occur before the season change. Previous season data is stored in the self-read information.
7.17.4 Initiating a Self-Read
You can program an automatic self-read to occur according to the methods listed below. The first three methods (day of the month, hours since the last reset, every day) are mutually exclusive, while the last two methods (after a manual reset and through an external input) can be selected in conjunction with one of the other methods.
A particular day of the month
Self-read occurs on one of the programmable self-read days from 1 to 28 at 00:00:00 on the specified day. Therefore, selecting the first day of the month will actuate self-read at midnight just after the last day of the previous month. Calendar month billing is obtained by selecting the first day of the month as the day which the read should occur.
A particular number of hours since the last reset
Self-read occurs at the specified number of hours following the last demand reset. For example, if the specified number of hours was 5 and the last demand reset was at 12:15:00 of the present day, then a self-read would occur at 17:00:00 and then every five hours thereafter. The range of the number of hours is 0 - 65535, but the most common number of hours is 792 (33 days). This would assure that an automatic self-read would occur only if the normal monthly reading was missed.
Every day
Self-read will occur each night at midnight or 00:00 on the clock.
After a manual reset
48
A self-read occurs after a demand reset is performed using any method except for the demand reset method concurrent with a season change. The self-read data is stored prior to the actual reset of indicating and cumulative demands.
Through an external input
A self-read is initiated through external input #1. The input is only available when the S4 optional relay board is installed. Using the external input to actuate self-reads may be programmed to occur on either the presence or absence of a signal on external input #1.
Note: Test Mode disables external inputs.
7.17.5 Self Read Displays
When self-read displays are enabled, self-read data will follow the user-programmed display sequence. If the display is currently in the ―normal‖ mode, self-reads are enabled, and there has been an automatically generated self-read, this data will follow the normal display sequence. Self-read data is displayed using the same programmed display sequence that normal real-time data uses. Self-read data will be displayed in chronological order starting from the most recent block. For example, if the time, date, and maximum kilowatts are to be displayed in the normal mode sequence, then when self-reads are displayed, the time, date, and maximum power data recorded in the self-read will be displayed beginning with the most recent self-read data. When the datum in the programmed display sequence does not have a corresponding datum in a self-read, dashes will be displayed on the screen.
When self-read data is being displayed, the display identification value will be modified to indicate that the data is from a self-read block and not real-time data. If the first character of the display ID is blank, the number of the self read block being displayed will be inserted. For example, if the display ID for time is 12 then the current time value will have the display ID 12, the time value of the most recent self-read block will have ID 112, the time value of the second self-read block will have the display tag 212, etc.

8.2 Inputs 1 and 2
8.2.1 Real-Time Communication Links
The real-time communications link allows the utility to change the active rate in real time. Real-time rates may be achieved in two ways: 1) External Input 1 may be programmed to initiate a real-time rate; or 2) a communication command may be used to initiate a real-time rate. Real time may be used to reduce system peak demand by switching to a premium rate or to encourage more usage by switching to a low-cost rate.
To use real-time communications, install a communications board in the meter. The active rate may be changed at any time by sending the appropriate command. Consult the 1132Prog/1132Com help file for more information about the necessary commands.
Using the real-time input
1) Program the meter so that Input 1 is configured for real-time.
2) Select a rate, A, B, C, D, or E, to use when real-time is active, Demand Meter will not have rate selection.
3) Select whether a high or low signal activates real-time (1132Prog/1132Com for more information).
4) Attach the activating device to Input 1 wires on the option cable. Polarity should match program.
Note: The activating device must be capable of supplying the voltage and current indicated in Section 8.4. To use the low range, resistors R1 and R2 must be removed with a wire cutter. Typically the real time rate used is a different rate from those defined in the TOU schedule.
8.2.2 External Load Profile Inputs
Inputs 1 and 2 may be programmed as load profile inputs. Each input may have its own channel in load profile. In this mode, the meter acts as load profile recorder with two inputs. Other channels may be used for recording any of the meters metrics explained in the load profile section.
51
8.3 Output Relays 1-4
Figure 8.3 provides an illustration of the suggested KYZ Output connection.
RELAY
Figure 8.3 Suggested KYZ Output Connection
8.3.1 KYZ Pulse Outputs
Pulse Initiator Output circuits are provided by the programmable relays. The DGCOM meter uses squared values. Any of these measurement units may be assigned to any of the 4 programmable relays as KYZ outputs:
1). +kWh 6). Leading VAh
2). - kWh 7). VAhrms
3). Lagging VARh 8). V2h or Vh per phase
4). Leading VARh 9). I2h or Ih per phase
5). Lagging VAh 10). I2h or Ih from Neutral Current
8.3.2 KYZ Pulse Constant Ke
Each KYZ output relay is assigned an independent Ke constant that represents the quantity of energy for the output pulse. The meter is programmed with a Ke value in units per pulse depending on the functionality of the relay. The minimum value of Ke is Kh/12, using the meter‘s true Kh. A value of zero disables the KYZ output. Scale factor has no effect on KYZ relays.
If the KYZ metric is volts, the pulse values will be those represented in Table 7.10.5.1. If, however, amps are used then the pulse values will appear as in Table 7.10.5.2.
52
8.3.3 TOU Load Control
TOU Load Control may be assigned to any of the programmable relays. When TOU Load Control is selected, the TOU Load Control output operates at switch points on quarter hours. Load Control is normally based on a TOU schedule and is accomplished by using Schedule in the Normal Mode in a TOU database and also defining it as being scheduled in the rates database. For a Demand meter, it may be selected as always On or Off in a Mode.
8.3.4 End of Interval Output (EOI)
This optional programmable relay switch may be programmed for EOI, in which case it provides a 10 second relay closure at the end of each demand interval.
8.3.5 Demand Threshold Alerts (DTA)
Demand Threshold Alerts are programmable to function as kW, kVAR, or kVA demand and are based on the meter‘s true Kh. Any of the four programmable output relays can be selected to provide a contact closure when the demand exceeds the threshold programmed into the register. The demand threshold at which the DTA output is energized is programmable in the form XXX.XXX. The DTA output is energized immediately when the programmed demand threshold is reached. Once energized, DTA will de-energize at the end of the first complete interval/subinterval in which the demand threshold is not exceeded. If the meter is in test mode the DTA will de-energize at the end of the interval and not at the end of the next. The DTA can be selected to operate only during specified TOU rates or at all times. Demand thresholds have the ability to operate from the selectable metric (KM). The DTA relay can also trigger the meter to enter real time rate. For firmware versions 4.20 and lower the DTA is an instantaneous value and is a direct measurement of voltage and current. Firmware versions 4.22 and greater use a cumulative value for DTA.
Note: The relays can be programmed as either PFTA or DTA for real time activation but cannot be programmed as both PFTA and DTA.
8.3.6 Power Factor Threshold Alerts (PFTA)
The Power Factor Thresholds can be programmed to operate on lagging loads, leading loads, or both and with a value of .001 to 0.999. The relay is activated when the Power Factor threshold is exceeded and is deactivated at the end of the next complete subinterval in which the Power Factor does not exceed the threshold value. The register, through software, allows the PFTA function to cause the programmed real-time rate to go into effect.
8.3.7 Voltage Threshold Alerts (VTA)
Voltage Threshold Alerts operate in much the same way as DTA. The relay activates when the Voltage Threshold is exceeded and is deactivated at the end of the next complete subinterval in which the VTA does not exceed the threshold value. Voltage Thresholds can be selected to operate only during specified TOU rates or at all times.
8.3.8 Diagnostic Alerts
One relay can be programmed for GyrBox Diagnostic Alerts. Whenever any diagnostic check fails, an alert is given. The alert is not cleared until all diagnostics are passed.
53
8.3.9 Operation of Outputs During Test Mode
During test mode, all outputs are available except for load control.

8.5 Optical Port Communications
The S4 meters have an ANSI Type II optical port. The meter may be read by any DGCOM device or ANSI device for the two respective meter types.
8.6 MODEM Communications Board
An optional MODEM communications board provides an alternate communication channel to the meter. Communications boards (MODEM, RS485 or RS-232) are installed parallel to the register board. The 12 pin connector plugs into the same header as the optional relay board. In the case where a relay board is also present, communication boards plug into the 12 pin header on the relay board.
8.6.1 Basic Operation
The basic operation of the MODEM is to allow access to the S4 from a typical telephone connection. Once a telephone connection is established, all functions that are normally available through the optical port are available through the MODEM. In addition, a MODEM password can be programmed which will allow the phone connection to be established only when the caller provides the correct password.
54
8.6.2 Hardware Description
MODEM communication is via an isolated two-wire interface located in the meter‘s base using an RJ-11 jack compatible with standard telephony equipment. This interface uses the same communication protocol as the optical port. Baud rates of 300, 1200, 2400 and 9600 are supported.
8.6.3 Power up Actions
Every time power is supplied to the meter, the MODEM communicates with the S4. This communication occurs approximately six seconds after power-up. At this time the meter is determining the presence of a MODEM, it‘s type and configuration.
The S4 stores the MODEM‘s ID and status for use in future communications. If the S4 has not been programmed with any MODEM configuration program, the MODEM defaults to an answer only mode with an eight-ring answer count.
8.6.4 Operating Modes
There are two operating modes for the MODEM: call answer and call-in. The modem can be programmed to operate in either mode. These operating modes are described below.
Call Answer
Call answer mode governs the conditions under which the MODEM will answer the phone and establish a connection. You can simply program the MODEM to answer after a certain number of rings, or you can program more complex operations such as a TOU type answer schedule (S4 in TOU mode only), defining daily windows during which the phone will be answered. These programming options are detailed in the 1132Prog/1132Com help file. When a call is placed to the MODEM, it will provide its current status and show if any call-ins have occurred since the last power outage.
Call-In
Call-in mode can be triggered by several different types of events. Each event can be programmed independently. The following table contains a brief definition of each call-in event.
Call-In Event Definition
Real Time Entry Call-in on real time mode being activated
Real Time Exit Call-in on real time mode being deactivated
Meter Error Call-in on Error Code 1 and Error Code 2 errors (each error independently programmable)
External Input Call-in on the S4s external input 1 being activated or deactivated
VTA Call-in when a VTA occurs
55
Call-In Event Definition
PFTA Call-in when a PFTA occurs
DTA Call-in when a DTA occurs
Power Restoration Call-in when power is restored
GyrBox D1 Call-in on a D1 error occurring
GyrBox D2 Call-in on a D2 error occurring
GyrBox D3 Call-in on a D3 error occurring
GyrBox D4 Call-in on a D4 error occurring
GyrBox D6 Call-in on a D6 error occurring
GyrBox D7 Call-in on a D7 error occurring
Additionally the MODEM can be programmed to call-in during certain time windows. This is similar to the way in which the answer window functions during call answer mode. Again this feature is only available for S4s operating in TOU mode. Call-in programming options are detailed in the 1132Prog/1132Com help file.
8.7 RS-232/RS-485 Communications Board
An optional RS-232/RS-485 communications board provides an alternate communications channel to the meter. Communications boards are installed parallel to the register board. The 12 pin connector plugs into the same header as the optional relay board. In the case where a relay board is also present, communications boards plug into the 12 pin header on the relay board.
RS-232/RS-485 communications are transmitted via an isolated three-wire interface located in the meter‘s base using an RJ-11 connector. The three lines (transmit, receive, and ground) each provide 2500 Vrms isolation. This interface uses the same protocol as the optical port. A 9600 baud rate is supported.

9. Troubleshooting and Error Codes
9.1 Error Codes
Non-Scrolling errors
Non-scrolling errors are flagged with the number 1 and cause the error code byte to lock at the end of the display sequence. Activating the reed switch will cause auto-scrolling to continue for one more pass in the alternate display mode.
Scrolling errors
The scrolling errors, flagged with the number 2, allow auto-scrolling to continue with the error code byte inserted at the end of the display sequence. With communication add-on boards, the meter has the capability to phone the utility when errors occur.
Error Condition Non-Scrolling Error Display
Scrolling Error Display

Unsafe Power Fail ERR 100000
Measurement Diagnostics Failure ERR 200000
Table 9.1 Error Codes
9.1.1 Low Battery Error (ERR 000001 or 000002)
The battery voltage is automatically checked each day at 4 a.m. The error is set when the voltage drops to 2.5 0.2 volts. A check of the battery may be initiated manually also any time
the register goes from Auto-scroll mode to Manual scroll mode (first actuation of scroll switch), each time the register is put into Test mode, and each time a Demand Reset is performed.
Note: A good charge on the supercap does not mask the state of a bad battery.
To clear this error, install a new battery and perform a battery retest as described above.
9.1.2 Unprogrammed Register Error (ERR 000010)
If the meter is unprogrammed, error code 000010 will be displayed.
To clear this error, program the meter.
57
9.1.3 Memory/Load Profile Error (ERR 000100)
A hardware failure in the serial EEPROM or a checksum error in the ROM, SRAM, or EEPROM triggers a memory/load profile error. Internal error flags indicate which of the four components is the source of the error. The following error flags can be seen as a 2-hex digit value in View Data (ex: Memory Error Yes [01]).
Bit Error Description Bit Error Description
0 EEPROM checksum 4 Load profile parity
1 reserved 5 ROM checksum
2 reserved 6 Serial EEPROM
3 reserved 7 SRAM board missing / malfunctioning
To clear the error for bits 0-6, cold start and reprogram the meter. If the error reappears, return the meter for service.
To clear the error for bit 7, make sure the RAM board is seated properly. If you have purposely removed the RAM board, you may get this error because you did not reprogram the meter to exclude load profile. If that is the case, you may need to complete the reprogramming. If, however, you did not remove the RAM board, then the error for bit 7 may indicate that there is a problem with the RAM board. In that case, you should attempt to cold start and reprogram the meter. If the error reappears, return the meter for service.
9.1.4 Demand Overload Error (ERR 001000 or ERR 002000)
At the end of every interval the current demand value is compared against the programmed overload value. If the value is equaled or exceeded, the overload error code (ERR 001000) is latched. Programming the overload value to zero will disable this function.
The overload value is cleared if a cold start or reprogramming is initialized. Also, a demand reset may be programmed to clear the demand overload error. Typically, demand overload is set to 83.3% of the system's capacity.
9.1.5 Stuck Switch Error (ERR 010000 or ERR 020000))
ERR 010000 is displayed when any one of the following situations occur: 1) Reset switch is in active mode for a period of four minutes; 2) Scroll switch is in active mode for a period of four minutes; 3) Test Mode switch is in active mode for a period of 4 minutes after the exiting test mode via the optical command or test mode time out.
This error will be cleared when the switches are returned to normal.
9.1.6 Unsafe Power Fail Error (ERR 100000)
If the S4 register determines that power recovery has occurred without proper power-down mode, it displays error 100000.
To clear the error, cold start the meter.
58
9.1.7 Phase Error (ERR 000200)
The S4 does not have potential indicator lamps but registers the loss of phase voltage by blinking the potential indicator for that phase; see Figure 3.1.1. No displays appears other than the error code displays, which may be seen by pressing the scroll switch. The unknown service type error occurs if the meter has never detected a valid service type.
Phase error displays disappear when voltage is restored. Normal scrolling continues automatically.
The unknown service type error clears when the meter is put in a valid service.
The S4 meter is powered from phase C, so any loss to this phase powers down the whole register and is treated as a normal power failure. Losses of phase A or B will cause an error message to appear. A phase is considered lost at 50% of the nominal voltage. Based on the programmable option of the reader/programmer, the phase error display discontinues auto-scrolling either temporarily or completely. When auto-scrolling is temporarily discontinued, the phase error appears on the display until the scroll switch is pressed. Auto-scrolling then continues for one pass. Any other error codes will appear in their programmed manner with the phase error(s) display returning at the end of this sequence. If auto-scrolling is completely discontinued, the register may only be read electronically.
Bit Error Description Bit Error Description
0 Phase C out 3 Phase A out
1 Phase B out 7 Unknown Service Type
9.1.8 Measurement Diagnostics Failure (ERR 200000)
This error indicates a problem with the ASIC. This is a critical error if the meter is out of calibration.
Bit Error Description Bit Error Description
0 ASIC not initialized 1 DSP initialization error
2 DSP communication error 6 DSP Timeout Error
3 ASIC data overrun 7 Out of Calibration/Critical
9.2 Disabling Display of Error Codes
Each error code may be individually programmed to be displayed or not displayed. All error codes will still be flagged by the register. Reference the 1132Prog/1132Com help file for more details. The reader programmer may clear any error flag, regardless whether or not it is displayable. The meter has a programmable mask to allow the reader/programmer to enable or disable individual error conditions. The reader/programmer may clear any error condition by toggling the appropriate mask bit. If cleared, the register retests for the error.

10. Measurement Techniques The following sections briefly describe the methods of measurement for the S4 meter. For a more detailed discussion of measurement techniques used in metering, please refer to the Handbook for Electricity Metering.
10.1 Metric Calculations
The term metric (kM) refers to any electrical units being measured. Typical metrics are watthours, VA hours, kVA, kVAR, volts, and amps, to name a few. Other values such as power factor are based upon these measurements. In the S4 meter there are two fundamental types of measurements - vectoral and rms.
10.1.1 Vectoral Metrics
Arithmetic measurements are generated by basic mathematical functions such as multiplication, division, subtraction, and addition. Watthours are an example of an arithmetic metric. Each voltage sample is multiplied by each current sample and the product is accumulated. When a value representing the K Factor, or Kh/12, is reached, then a pulse is generated. Twelve pulses equal one equivalent disk revolution or Kh of the meter. The accumulated value will typically exceed Kh.
Similarly, VAR measurements are made by integrating the voltage waveform to obtain a 90
phase shift, then each voltage sample is multiplied by the coincident current sample and the product is accumulated to obtain a VARs.
The Scale Factor also affects the Kh in the following manner:
The DSP sends information to the meter‘s processor. The meter‘s processor converts the information into pulse values. Based on the scale factor the pulses are divided down and stored, i.e. Scale Factor = 2 would record half as many pulses as Scale Factor = 1. The pulses (after scaling) are recorded in Load profile, energy registers, and demand registers. The Kh programmed into the meter is adjusted for the scale factor so that the values of energy and demand on the display read accurately.
10.1.2 RMS Metrics
Root-mean-square, or rms metrics, differ significantly from vectoral metrics. The term mean signifies the average or mean value of a series of numbers over time. If the individual numbers of the series are multiplied by themselves, or squared, this creates a series of squared values. By taking the mean of this series, the mean-squared value of the series is obtained. By taking the square root of the mean-squared value, the rms value is obtained. An rms value is the square root of the average of a sum of squared values. The rms value of the voltage is represented by a capital V and the rms of the current is represented by a capital I. V multiplied by I is the metric VA, an rms metric.
In a 4 wire wye system, VArms is calculated by multiplying the rms phase to neutral voltages by the matching rms phase currents, then summing the three products to arrive at the total VA.
60
In a 3 wire delta system, the total VArms is calculated by multiplying two rms line voltages by the matching two rms line currents. These products are then multiplied by a factor of 0.866 and summed to arrive at the total VA.
In a 4 wire delta system, VArms is calculated by multiplying the three rms line to neutral voltages by the corresponding rms line currents. These products are then multiplied by 0.9282 and summed to arrive at the total VA.
10.2 Digital Implementation
For a digital implementation, the voltage and current waveforms must be transformed into a digital format. Once digitized, the values must be used to calculate metrics, and the metrics are then stored and made available for end use. Metrics are either presented on an LCD display or read from memory through a communication port.
10.2.1 Overview of S4 Implementation
Voltage and current transducers provide a representation of the actual voltage and current waveforms as input to a power meter interface ASIC (ASIC). The ASIC contains a digital signal processor (DSP) where energy, power, and other measurements are calculated.
10.2.2 Input Circuitry
The design of the input circuitry allows for the meter to withstand 10KV transient surges without damage. Resistors are used to reduce the line voltage to a level compatible with the solid state circuitry. The scaled potential is input into the ASIC. Similarly, the current is converted for input to the ASIC. The transformer-rated S4 uses current transformer sensors while the self-contained K-base version uses an embedded coil sensor in each phase. Embedded coils provide an output that is proportional to the rate of change of the load current with respect to time, and the external input to the ASIC provides an integration function to restore the current wave form to its original shape. Both types of current sensors provide 10 kV of isolation.
Voltage and current inputs from each phase are sampled by two (Delta Sigma)
converters. Once sampled, a single 20-bit analog to digital converter (ADC) digitizes the sample and transmits the data to a digital signal processor.
10.2.3 Sampling Rate
Voltage and current pairs are sampled by the converters at a rate of 3.33 Mhz. These
samples are filtered digitally to provide a 20 bit value representing the input at 3.34 kHz. This makes it possible to discern frequency up to the 26th harmonic of 60 Hz. Note: Frequency is only calculated when potential is applied on all 3 phases.
10.2.4 Register Section
The DSP in the measurement ASIC calculates metric values. A communications serial bus is used to transfer metric data from the ASIC to the micro-controller. These are both on the primary printed wiring board. All metric data is calculated by the DSP except for VA. VA is calculated by the micro-controller.
61
10.3 Negative Energy Metric
The RXS4 register may be programmed to treat negative energy in two different ways, security (add) mode and detent (ignore) mode. In all instances of negative energy measurement, the digital power indicator will operate from right-to-left and the negative energy accumulator increments.
10.3.1 Security (Add) Mode
In security (add) mode, negative energy is treated as if it were positive energy. kWh is accumulated positively in the total kWh register. Demand functions operate in their normal manner. All optional outputs function normally. Negative energy is also accumulated in the negative energy register.
10.3.2 Detent (Ignore) Mode
Negative energy is accumulated in the negative energy register and ignored in the normal (positive) energy register used for billing purposes. In detent mode, all negative watt and watthour measurements are ignored for billing purposes.
10.3.3 Net Mode
In ANSI protocol meters (firmware versions 6.xx) Net mode has been added. In Net mode negative watthour measurements are accumulated and subtracted from the normal (positive) energy register for billing purposes.
10.3.3 Leading kVARh Accumulator
The S4 includes a VARh accumulator for leading power factors only. When combined with a negative kWh in detent mode, a kMh set up for VAR (ignore leading), and a total Wh, this feature gives the user the ability to measure energy on all four axes of the power quadrant (see Section 10.4).
10.3.4 VArms, kVARtd, kVAtd measurements
kVArms is a measured quantity and, therefore, includes both lead and lag components of the load. kVAR demand is always calculated as if ―ignore‖ were selected for leading conditions. kVAR energy can either add, subtract, or ignore leading kVARh from lagging kVARh. kVAtd, for both demand and energy, may either add or ignore leading kVAtd.
10.4 50 Hz Operation
The S4 meter is normally calibrated at 60 Hz, but will operate at either 50 or 60 Hz. Upon power-up, the meter checks the frequency, and operates on the frequency it registers. In addition, you may order a meter to be specifically calibrated at 50 Hz. Consult the factory for details.
62
10.5 Power Quadrant Indicators
On the LCD, a numbered four quadrant ―pie‖ indicates the combined load on the meter. The chart below outlines the load when that quadrant is highlighted.
Quadrant I Positive watts (delivered) VAR (delivered) / (lagging power factor)
Quadrant II Negative watts (received) VAR (delivered) / (leading power factor)
Quadrant III Negative watts (received) VAR (received) / (lagging power factor)
Quadrant IV Positive watts (delivered) VAR (received) / (leading power factor)
10.6 Overview of the S4 Measuring Element
The S4 utilizes a digital sampling technique to measure voltage and current in a customer load. The S4 calculates active, reactive, and apparent power in quadrants one and four. Apparent power is calculated as the product of the square-root of the mean-square value of the current (Irms) and voltage (Vrms). Calculations include harmonics of the fundamental, up to and including the 23rd harmonic.
63
10.6.1 S4 Measurement Metrics—Second (kM) and Third Metric (kM3)
Functionally, the meter always operates on active energy (kWh & kW) and two selectable additional metrics. The additional metrics apply to both energy and demand functions. Additional metrics available in the register (shown here in energy units) are as follows:
+VARh (phase shift) Ignoring, Adding or Netting Leading VARh
VAh (rms)
+VAh (time delay Ignoring or Adding Leading VAh
In addition the meter always stores leading VARh and negative Wh
Active energy and the second metric (kM) are supported for TOU functionality, while the third metric (kM3) has no TOU registers.
10.6.2 Neutral Current Calculations
Measurement of the neutral current of an S4 is a calculated quantity. Note that when certain meter forms such as the Form 12 and Form 5 are used in a "network" installation, the information necessary to determine neutral current is not available. This is because typical network application may have several meters supplying kWh information from a single three phase, four wire "Y" distribution transformer. There are three phase currents, but only two are metered by any one single meter. Each meter shares the common neutral.
To calculate true neutral current, all phase currents must be known by a single meter. As a result, neutral current cannot be determined by any of the meters and should be ignored in these applications.
10.6.3 Register Metric-Hour Constant (Kh)
Registration of energy is based upon the register constant Kh. The Kh value is normalized to 120 volts. Since the S4 meter operates from 120-480 volts, the registration of energy at 480 volts is at a rate four times greater than at 120 volts for the same load current. Thus, one Kh value suffices for all applicable voltages. The meter is capable of registering energy at this rate, but some external devices, such as pulse recorders, may not be. See Section 11.2 for a discussion of output pulse rates for calibration verification.
Each pulse represents one Kh/12 amount of energy. The pulse count is stored in the meter's memory and is read by a reader. To determine the amount of energy recorded by the meter, the following formula should be used:
Energy = [pulse count] x Kh/12
Where: Energy = watt-hours, VA hours or VAR hours.
Pulse count = pulses
Kh = watt-hours or VAR hours per disk revolution
64
Kh is used to calculate the proper kWh and kW values for display. The S4 uses one Kh value per meter form. For each form, the Kh value is based on 120V. As the voltage changes from service to service, the Kh remains the same. A Kh value can be programmed to a value other than the meters true Kh. If this is done, the energy and demand registers will be affected by the new Kh, however, the KYZ and DTA output relays will continue to use the meter‘s true Kh.
For S base, A base and SE base:

10.6.4 Transformer Factor (TF)
A transformer factor can be programmable as a 6-digit number available for display only or as a multiplier to achieve direct primary readings for display.
Transformer factor = CT ratio x the PT ratio
10.7 Power Factor
True power factor is calculated as the ratio of active power to apparent power.
Note: The power factor calculations described below are based on true power factor, power factor is calculated using the following two methods:
rmsPowerFactorW
VA
where V*A is based on rms quantities and using the kVA rms calculation, or:
ReactivePowerFactorW
W VAR2 2using the kVA td power factor calculation
65
10.7.1 Available Power Factor Measurements
The following power factor measurements are calculated, stored, and available for display:
Instantaneous power factor
Previous interval power factor
Average power factor since last reset
Smallest power factor since last reset
Power factor for each maximum demand, including kW, kM, or kM3
10.8 Effects of Harmonic Distortion
The S4 responds within the limits below when a voltage composite wave form and a current composite wave form are simultaneously applied. With this test, the voltage composite wave form consists of the fundamental plus one harmonic component at 10% of the fundamental amplitude. The current composite wave form consists of the fundamental plus one harmonic component at 30% of the fundamental amplitude. The harmonic components are applied one at a time.

11. Calibration Verification and Testing
11.1 S4 Factory Calibration
Calibration of voltages, currents and phase angles per element is accomplished through calibration constants stored in non-volatile memory. These constants cannot be changed except by recalibration at the factory
11.2 How to Verify the S4 Calibration
11.2.1 Verification of Watt Calibration
S4 watt calibration may be verified using standard procedures. The watt calibration LED is the left LED located inside the Type II optical port on the face of the polycarbonate cover. The infra-red output pulses from the LED can be changed through programming with the 1132Prog/1132Com software packages. The optical pulse rate can be selected to be either medium (one pulse per equivalent revolution), fast (12 pulses per equivalent revolution), or slow (1 pulse for every 4 equivalent revolutions).
11.2.2 Calibration Pulse Displays
Three calibration pulse displays, used in the test mode sequence, give calibration pulses other than watts. Whenever the meter is in test mode and scrolled to one of these displays (one for VAR, one for VArms, one for VAtd), the meter will start pulsing in these metrics. At all other times the meter will give watt pulses. Each display will show ―CAL‖ in the seven segment portion of the LCD and include the appropriate units on the right side of the LCD.
11.2.3 Test Times
The minimum test times required to obtain accurate verification for S4 calibration are given below. Testing at power factors other than those specified below will require longer test times.
Quantity Present Minimum Test Time
Watthour TA 21.6 seconds @ unity PF
VA phase shift TA 90 seconds
VAR TA 90 seconds
VArms TA 90 seconds
When testing, the test board should have a 6 second settling time programmed. This will allow 6 seconds for the calibration pulse to stabilize when the current changes. Allow 15 seconds if the meter has a modem.
67
11.2.4 Field Testing
To test the meter in the field using test mode, complete the following procedure:
1) Remove the cover.
2) Flip the test mode switch. The LCD will indicate the meter is in test mode.
3) Press the scroll button to scroll through the displays.
4) Exit test mode by returning the test mode switch to its original position.
11.2.5 Demand Measurement Verification
In order to test the demand measurement of an S4 meter, complete the following procedure:
1) Connect the reference standard to the meter.
2) Select the voltage test to match the application.
3) Turn on the pulse counting device and make sure it is set to 0.
4) Flip the test mode switch.
5) Press the Demand Reset button.
6) Turn on the current to the meter and the standard at the same time.
7) After the End of Interval flag is displayed; turn off the current to the meter and the standard, again at the same time.
8) Record the pulse counter total and compare it with the total on the S4 display.

Appendix B: Register Displays
Each display includes a two digit identification number. The identification number can be any number from 0 through 999 or can be a three character alphanumeric code. The identifiers are merely labels; numbers may be repeated and may be in any order.
Except for countdown timers, present demand, instantaneous measurements, and Test Mode displays, display values will not be updated as they are shown, even if the value is changing internally in the meter. To display an updated value, it will be necessary to scroll through all the display items until the value desired appears again.
Displays are shown both in order by display code and by description. The tables on pages B.3-9 list the following information for each display:
Display Name.
Format of the display on the register LCD. An explanation of the formats appears on page B.2.
Whether the display is valid when the register is in demand-only mode ("X" if it is; blank if the display requires TOU programming).
Whether the display is valid for AX registers (―X‖ if it is; blank if the display requires RX register).
Description of the display.
Where "Rate A" displays are indicated as applicable for demand-only devices, Real Time mode is indicated. For example, on a AXS4(Dmd), the "Rate A Total kWh" display indicates Real Time Total kWh. Displays for Previous Season data are abbreviated with "PS". Displays listed as KM refer to the selectable metric while KM3 refers to the third metric, see Appendix E for further definitions.
B.2
Display Formats
All Segment All segments of every character shown on display to verify that display is fully functional.
Alpha-4 Format is four characters. If numeric, the digit is shown. If it is alphabetic and greater than F, a dash is displayed.
Alpha-6 Format is six characters. If numeric, the digit is shown. If it is alphabetic and greater than F, a dash is displayed.
Alpha-9 Format is nine characters. If numeric, the digit is shown. If it is alphabetic and greater than F, a dash is displayed.
Cumulative Display is formatted for demand per LCD Display Configuration Variable command (67h Prgm). This command also dictates if cumulative or continuous cumulative demand is displayed. DX firmware versions less than 2.00 use the same format for normal and cumulative demand. Starting with DX firmware 2.00 and all early versions of RX, cumulative demand has one additional digit to the left of the decimal point. Starting with DX firmware version 2.04 and RX firmware version 2.11, the cumulative demand display format is independently selectable.
Date Display is formatted for dates per the LCD Display Configuration Variable command (67h Prgm).
Demand Display is formatted for demand per the LCD Display Configuration Variable command (67h Prgm). Leading zeros are not suppressed.
Energy Display is formatted for energy per the LCD kWh Display Digits command (30h Prgm)
Float Format is six digit floating point. The decimal location is dynamic (for example, based on the decimal location specified in Ke Values command, 78h Prgm).
Fixed-1 Format is 9.
Fixed-2 Format is 99, with leading zeros suppressed.

Appendix E: Definitions 1132Prog/1132Com: 1132Prog/1132Com is Landis+Gyr‘s windows based software package. 1132Prog is the program development portion and 1132Com is the reader/program portion.
ANSI Protocol: ANSI C12.19 is an industry standard communication protocol that is used in the ANSI firmware versions of the S4e meter.
DG1100: DG1100 is the Landis+Gyr‘s DOS based reader/programmer package for DGCOM protocol meters. This software package is no longer current, supports S4 DGCOM meters firmware version 4.41 and earlier and is available only on request.
DGCOM (Data Gyr COMmunications) Protocol: This is the Landis+Gyr Communication Protocol that the S4, Altimus, and S4e DGCOM meters use to communicate to a PC or a handheld device.
Selectable Metric: The selectable metric can be programmed one of the following aspects of energy: kVA/kVAh rms, kVA/kVAh td, kVAR/kVARh td. During a meter read the Selectable metrics registers will appear as KM (for demand) and KMh (for energy).
RS232: RS-232 is a communication, Recommended Standard, for serial interface devices. Using this standard and an RS-232 add-on board the meter can communicate with RS-232 based devices. The RS-232 standard defines communications between two devices only.
RS485: RS-485 is a newer communication standard that is similar to RS-232. Using this standard and an RS-485 add-on board the meter can communicate with RS-485 based devices. The RS-485 standard supports communications between several devices on an RS-485 bus.
Remote Communications Alert: If the External Input field in 1132Prog is set to Communication Alert, 1132Prog will enable the external input polarity field. When programming, the external input will be programmed to send an alert to the modem when open or when closed depending on the value of the external input polarity field. The meter must have a modem and the modem program must include external input as a call in event for the communication alert to result in a call. Communication Alert programming is incompatible with Real Time Rate programming. If Communication Alert is selected in the External Input field, the Real Time field will be set to None or Relays Only. Do not combine Communication Alert programming with Real Time Trigger relays.
Third Metric: The Third metric can be programmed one of the following aspects of energy: kVA/kVAh rms, kVA/kVAh td, kVAR/kVARh td. During a meter read the Third metrics registers will appear as KM3 (for demand) and KM3h (for energy).
VArms: Root mean squared measurement of Volt-Amperes.
VAtd: Time delay (lagging) measurement of Volt-Amperes. At unity power factor VAtd is equal to watts.
VARtd: Time delay (lagging) measurement of Volt-Amperes reactive.
